Published in 1999, Professor C.A. Macartney was one of the foremost
20th-century authorities on the history of the Danube basin. His
life's work included the re-examination of the sources relating to
early Hungarian and Pontic history. This selection of his studies
(some of them hardly accessible because they were published in
wartime conditions) illuminates one of the dark corners of medieval
Europe and tackles controversial questions in the history of the
nomadic steppe peoples, such as the Magyars, Pechenegs, Kavars and
Cumans. Macartney's treatment of the earliest Hungarian written
sources and their interpretation laid the foundation for his
shorter book, The Medieval Hungarian Historians. The present volume
brings together for the first time, and indexes, his series of
detailed studies on this material; penetrating in both its analysis
and scholarship, this work remains indispensable for our
understanding of the period and its historiography.
